Mama hens look after their chicks! Jesus looks after us! Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 03-27-2025 Our church Taco Dinner is 3/29. We will set up a taco bar. Yummy! We are also welcome to attend a community pass dish dinner at Dresden UMC at 6 PM on March 26. We Methodists like our dinners and social events! Pastor Jeannine asked the kids if they ever lost anything that they could not find. We often start out in a room and go to look for something in another room, and have to go back to the first room to remember what we were looking for! Pastor Jeannine told that one of her daughters was upset once because of loosing her favorite socks. She had to clean her room to find them! Jesus is always here for us. He is happy to help us find our way. The kids learned and shared how mother chicks protect their babies and look after them, during the Sunday School lesson. Meridyn shared that her family has many hens and chickens, but they don’t keep them together! She keeps busy, feeding the animals and collecting eggs. Pastor Jeannine’s message shared that the Pharisees warned Jesus that they wanted to kill him. It’s a little confusing that the Pharisees were the ones pretending to be concerned about Jesus’s safety, but they would eventually be the ones behind his crucifixion. Jesus began to move closer to Jerusalem during this time. Jesus likened himself to a hand in the scripture lesson from today from Luke 13: 31-35. Like a hand, Jesus tried to gather his chicks under his wings to protect them, even when they weren’t always willing. Today, Pastor Jeannine shares that we are called to be the hands, feet and wings of Jesus and the Christ to our community. We must try to do all we can to bring shelter to those who are hurting, lost or confused and lead people to our savior, as the hen gathers her chicks under her wings. Music Sunday is March 30! The kids and various groups are practicing! Ron and Murray Miller have been working tirelessly!! Please bring your friends to church to listen to our beautiful singing arrangements.

Meridyn and Charlotte learned that Jesus loves us all, no matter what country we are from, or what color our skin or features. Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 03-20-2025 Pastor Jeannine did an experiment for the kids in church today. She had her husband blindly eat various colors of M&M’s and ask him if he could tell the difference of the color. Of course he couldn’t. People may look different outside the same as M&M’s, but no matter who we are we are all the same inside, and Jesus loves us all. Pastor Jeannine asked us if we feel our feet are beautiful? Most people don’t consider feet a thing of beauty, however, how beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good news. Our mainstream news today seems to focus on crimes, wars, and all the bad going on in the world. Likely there is no more bad news than there ever was. These days we continuously get our news 24/7 and are bombarded with constant news clips. Pastor Jeannine challenged us to walk by faith and not to be selfish with how Christ is in our lives. We need to walk, live and show the love of Christ. We need to be more intentional and put our faith into action, and share what Christ has done in our lives. Sincere condolences to the family of Skip Burnham. His service was this past week at our church. Skip and Shirl have been faithful members of our church, and we will miss Skip’s faithfulness and humor. Please feel free to join our Monday Bible studies at noon at church. The study for the next few weeks is about the grave robber. This will be a journey to the Holy Land, where Jesus revealed his miracles- we will also discuss our own miracles that we take for granted every day. Music Sunday is coming up again on March 30. Please let Ron Miller know if you have a talent that would like to perform in church on that day!

Laurie Prinzivalli helps with our pancake Shrove Tuesday church dinner. Yummy!!! Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 03-13-2025 This past Sunday we celebrated Transfiguration Sunday. We begin Lent this week with our Shrove Tuesday Fat Tuesday pancake and sausage supper! Pastor Jeannine spoke to the children telling them how Jesus went up to a mountain to see Moses and Elijah, taking some of the disciples with him. Jesus then took Peter, James and John up the mountain to pray. Peter did not want the day to end! Jesus’s face was transformed. Everyone was excited! Jesus however had to go down from the mountain as he knew he had to die for us on the cross, and the day had to end. The adults learned that transfiguration was God’s answer to suffering. God cannot passively look back while we suffer. Jesus was forced to carry his own cross and die an horrific death. He was laughed at and mocked. Jesus suffered for us. When we hurt, God hurts. Through all of this, Jesus has given us faith and hope! God told us to hear the voice of his son, his chosen, and to listen to him! Did you pick up any of our kindness cards? Take some and do a small favor for someone and leave the card. Then that person can do the same and pay it forward. See you Sundays at 9:00 am!

We, at Bluff Point UMC, are on a journey to share the message of Jesus through our actions. Below is a current list of the mission related activities supported by our church family. Feel free to investigate each ministry, pray about your involvement and contact us.
